Upper Thailand gets warmer with morning fog
The Thailand Meteorological Department forecast on Saturday that a weak high-pressure system covers upper Thailand, resulting in temperatures rising by 1-3 degrees Celsius as well as morning fog, including dense fog in some areas. All vehicles should move with caution in foggy areas, the department said.
The department added that the weak northeast monsoon prevailing across the Gulf of Thailand and the South will bring less rain to the areas, while waves in the Gulf will rise about a metre high and 1-2 metres during thundershowers.
During December 15-18, another high pressure cell from China will extend to cover upper Thailand, bringing cool to cold weather with strong winds and a 2-3°C drop in temperature over the upper country.
